Georgia does not require a purchase permit, registration, or waiting period. Purchasing from a dealer involves completing an ATF Form 4473 and undergoing a federal NICS background check. Federal law requires buyers to be 21 for handguns and 18 for rifles or shotguns. Online orders ship to the Georgia FFL dealer chosen by the buyer, who will verify ID, conduct the background check, and transfer the firearm. A Georgia weapons carry license does not substitute for the background check at a dealer.
Dealers in these communities all work for Augusta-area buyers:
Since April 2022, Georgia allows lawful weapons carriers to carry a handgun openly or concealed without a license, generally from age 21 (18 for active military and honorably discharged veterans). The optional Georgia Weapons Carry License, issued by the probate judge of Richmond County, remains useful for carry in other states and in certain areas where state law treats differently. Schools, courthouses, and secured areas of airports remain restricted.
Georgia's 2026-27 deer seasons begin with archery in mid-September, followed by a primitive weapons week in October, and the firearms season from October 17, 2026, to January 10, 2027, with additional days in some southwest counties. Centerfire rifles and handguns, shotguns, and muzzleloaders are legal during firearms season. Firearms deer hunting is prohibited in Clayton, Cobb, and DeKalb counties or in Fulton County north of GA Highway 92. Either-sex days vary by county; check current regulations.
Georgia's firearms deer season opens in mid-October; WMAs along the Savannah River offer public hunting opportunities.
The Yuchi WMA range in Burke County is a short drive south, and river-bottom hunting is popular among locals.
The ranges on the city pages are public facilities run or listed by the state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest, picked by distance from each city. Licenses, passes and hours are set by the agency.

Yes. Georgia treats feral hogs as a nuisance species with no closed season on private land, but you need a hunting license and landowner permission, and WMA rules differ. Check the Georgia DNR regulations.
A spare magazine, a sling, scope covers and the ammunition your rifle is zeroed with; the city page lists the zone and season structure.
